I like Rob Bell. I think Charles Stanley's teachings are okay, just not very deep. I think Joel Osteen reminds me of Tony Robbins too much. I like many more, including the ones you do. But I focus more on the areas I need to grow in. So I am drawn to those 'theologians' who are able to encourage me and make me think.Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669050528894458315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579381765450411966.post-26027289939212556492007-12-20T00:23:00.000-05:002007-12-20T00:23:00.000-05:00I never seen itI never seen itCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224971120936180596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579381765450411966.post-71820494204509615842007-12-19T23:22:00.000-05:002007-12-19T23:22:00.000-05:00Not a fan of the Hobbit?!?!?!What?

I follow what I believe is right. I dont have a problem reading a book by someone with a different outlook than myself.<BR/><BR/>I dont feel it necessary to name names. While I understand why you ask for names, I cant honestly think of anyone I fully agree with, let alone look up to. <BR/><BR/>I believe that if one of my beliefs is wrong, that God will inform me someway, somehow. Until then, I listen to my pastor, and challenge things I disagree with against the Bible.Laynehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549086508777531754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579381765450411966.post-52441799817616307672007-12-18T20:55:00.000-05:002007-12-18T20:55:00.000-05:00Timm,Thanks for being the first brave enough to su...Timm,<BR/>Thanks for being the first brave enough to subject yourself to ridicule.
